Company's Kntlneer Says Ke-RoUed
Iron I Superior to Commercial
Bar In Ma klnff Bolts.
CHICAGO. Dec. !0. (Special.) How
the Illinois Cefitral Company la re
sorting to the Brandelslng" process,
with the result that many thousands of
dollars are'belng saved, waa described
this evening by T. S. Shaefer. the com
pany's engineer of tests, in an address
before the Western Railway Club.
Scrap that formerly was sold for al
most anything It would bring, and paint
and waste that In the ofa days were
carried to the dump pile, are now trans
muted into usable material by proc
esses that have been evolved after
many months of experiments.
-There Is every indication," said the
speaker, "that this re-rolled Iron Is
superior to the commercial bar Iron,
due to the further refining during
rolling. It is used for bolts princi
pally, as the bolt header and cutter
operators prefer it to new Iron. in
this shop also good second-hand Iron
Is straightened for use In the black
smith shop."
In regard to a saving on old Jour
nal bearings, the speaker made the fol
lowing comment,
-Formerly all Journal bearings re
moved from cara and locomotives were
scrapped, but for the last six months
they have been carefully sorted, and
all that were suitable have been re
llncd and returned to service thereby
saving over KcOO a month."
Mr. gheafer related at some length
how paint skins and waste were col
lected and worked over. Other econo
mies which railroads might effect,
enumerated by the speaker. Included
operation of their own foundries for
making brass costings; the making
and repairing of springs, and the re
tiring of steel wheels.

INLAND RATES AFFECTED
Commerce Commission Glsea Views
on Long and Short Haul.
vrASIttN'IToN. Pec. views of
ta internal Cotnnicrca Coouuissioa
upon the application of the long and
short haul provision of the commerce
act are given In a ststament today.
They relate particularly to the applica
tion of the provision to the import and
export freight rates. In view of facta
elicited at the hearing on November 3.
Itlo. the commission holds:
"That Inland export and import rates
are subject to the provision of the act
and within the Jurisdiction of the com
mission. ' ...
-That the fourth section of the
amended act forbids carriers subject
thereto, without authority from the
commission In accordance with said
section, to charge more for the trans
portation of a like kind of export or
:nport traffic for a shorter than for
a longer haul oven the same line in the
same direction.
"So far aa the fourth section Is con
cerned, rsrriers are not required. In the
first Instance, to establish export and
Import rates which shall be measured
and limited by domestic Inlerstate
rates between the same points of origin
and deatlnatlon In the United States. . It
Is clear that the reasonableness of any
of theee rates under the provisions of
section one. and questions of dlscrlm
Instlon under the third section, may
all be considered and the commission
may condemn any discrimination n ex
port and Import rates."

Eager to Gra;-p Throttle for
Wages Now Offered.
CHICAGO. Dec. (Special.) Rela
tion between 61 Weern railroads,
operating west, north and south
from Chicago, and 3&.0CO locomotlvo en
gineer, strained for several days, has
reached a critical stage and .a strike of
gigantic proportions looms aa a strong
possibility.
Following a conference between the
engineers and Labor Commissioner
Charles P. Ncill, the latter practically ad
mitted mediation hsd failed.
Neither side would yield a point.
After the conference. Warren S. Stone,
grand chief of the engineers, telegraphed
his advisory board to come at once.
Arbitration will be offered by the rail
roads as a last resort, but the engineers
will not arbitrate the entire question of
wages anil conditions.
The railroads have already offerea an
Increase of V per cent, but the men de
mand approximately 15 per cent.
If the managers' offer stands exd arbi
tration aa to a further Increase is agree!
to, the proposition would probably be
accepted by the engineers, but to this the
managers will not agree. They want to
submit the whole question to an arbi
tration board, arguing they have offered
more than was awarded the firemen
through arbitration.
Stone's summons to his advisory board
Is regsrded as the moat warlike move
ft made and shows he is preparing to
strike.
The board comprises the officials who.
with Grand Chief Stone, would have au
thority to order a strike.
Agalnnt the strike proposition ls th
well-known conservatism of the engin
eers and the position of the locomotive
Hrcmen. who are working under a writ
ten ugroemeiu with the roads. There I
said to be a fireman ready to take the
place of each engineer who quits, the feel
ing between the two organizations being
anything but friendly.
When the firemen struck a few year
ago on the Southern Pacific, the en
gineers not only remained at work, but
they Instructed new men in the work of
handling the oil-burning engines.
The firemen are said to be anxlou to
gel even. If the engineers go out. It Is
said, the manager will have little diffi
culty finding firemen capable of runnnlg
engines, anxious to do It. too, at the
wage offered the engineers.
KING SUMMONS ASQUITH
Elect ion End With Coalition Ma
jority of 1 30 In Commons.
LONDOX. Dec 10. The King tonight
unexpectedly summoned the Prime
Minister to London from Edinburgh.
The nature of the conference which HI
Majesty Is to have with Mr. Asqutth
is not known, but it is likely the gen
eral political aspect will be gone into
thoroughly.
King George has taken a great Inter
est In the genersl election Just ended
and It I certain he has no wish to see
another dissolution of Parliament for a
long time.
As the new Parliament now stands,
the Liberal government, in coalition
with the Nationalists, regular and Inde
pendent and the Labor members, hold
3SS seats as against :72 held by the
Unionists, a majority of 1J.
The ministerial majority. In many
caflea, however, ha been much smaller
than this figure, as the Independent
Nationalists are hostile to Redmond,
and therefore to some of the measures
proposed in the government's pro
gramme. Jamea Gllhooly. who as an O'Brlcnlt
has long represented the west division
of Cork County, was returned with a
majority of 55. adding one to the
Independent Nationalists' total. Gll
hooly defeated D. O'Lrary, Nationalist.
In the south division of Kilkenny
County, M. Keating. Nationalist, was
re-elected with a majority of 1S7S.
